Currently, yes.

You do not need a PayPal account to pay via PayPal. You can pay with a normal credit/debit card without opening an account.

To do so, just pick the “checkout as a guest” option when prompted.

If you need to pay via Zelle, Venmo, or wire transfer, email me and we can arrange that. However, please not that I will not hold items for you and take them off the website prior to payment.

At checkout, choose “Add To My Open Box”

Policy:

• Items must be paid for before I hold them for you. 

• No put backs or exchanges once the item is paid for and added to your box.

• I will hold a box open for 2 weeks. During this time, you can continue to add items to your box.

• After 2 weeks the box closes and I will calculate and invoice you for shipping.

• Once the box closes, new items cannot be added, a new box will be opened instead.

• Once shipping is paid, the box will be shipped.

I’ve taken great care to work with suppliers who embrace ethical sourcing practices. Where possible I try and purchase directly from miners.

That said, crystals go through a lot of steps during the pipeline from miner to retail and it can be near impossible to guarantee the ethics of every step. The pipeline before it gets to me can look like: miner > manufacturer > international distributor > local distributor > wholesaler

What I’ve learned is nearly every ethics breach occurs in the manufacturing stage. Which is why I work mostly with suppliers who own their own manufacturing and mines, or try and purchase directly from miners.

The best way to ensure what you buy is ethically sourced is to purchase something that is carved by me. This skips the manufacturing process.

Ethical sourcing is murky for many other reasons people aren’t usually aware of. I’ll try and write or post about this on Instagram sometime.
